Around the Villa Steiner

Full of life, rich in history, tradition and la dolce vita. That’s our Merano. Eighteen kilometres of walking paths and the expansive parks decorated with flowers also lend our charming little town the title of ‘Garden City’. Numerous walking paths begin in the centre, along which even Empress Sissi of Austria once strolled. In addition, there are the picturesque and well-shaded Waalwege (irrigation channel paths) that lead from here in all directions and to the neighbouring communities. Numerous hiking and cycling trails can be found in the skiing and hiking areas around Meran: Tschöggelberg (Hafling, Vöran, Mölten, Jenesien), Vigiljoch, Passeiertal valley with Hirzer and the Texel Group, the Ultental valley and the Schwemmalm.
A variety of hiking, cycling, ski touring and snowshoe routes can be found at www.sentres.com.
